    Tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia can lead to chronic gastrointestinal issues, increasing cancer risk.

  • 2

    A young female with repaired TEF/EA developed gastric signet-ring-cell adenocarcinoma during routine surveillance.

  • 3

    Biopsy errors complicated tumor localization, impacting the management of the identified gastric cancer.

  • 4

    The patient opted for endoscopic surveillance instead of total gastrectomy due to negative imaging and uncertain tumor location.

  • 5

    Over 12 months, the patient showed no malignancy recurrence and significant functional improvement after endoscopic treatment.
